LR says it's not Hasanni's

http://cbs5.com/local/Volunteers.Hasanni.Campbell.2.1181673.html

But Hasanni's foster father, Louis Ross told reporters late Sunday that the clothing did not belong to the missing boy.

Guessing they showed him picture of it and he then IDd? I think this is not secluded enough and isn't far enough away from Shuz to make him run late. But it's in the right direction for him not wanting to ping off the "wrong" tower.

"It's not his," Ross told reporters while flanked by Campbell and the couple's legal adviser, Oakland attorney John Burris. "We buy his clothes. We know what he wears, so that was not his shirt. The sock was not his, either."

...

Before the couple's arrival at the scene, searchers girded for the possibility that the clothing belonged to Hasanni.

I never saw it mentioned what color/kind of socks Hasanni was wearing or what his shoes looked like.


And this from same article makes me think that sweatshirt picture posted in this thread could not be what they found or the photo angle is distorted somehow.

"Because it is similar, it's gray, it does appear to be small, we want to make sure - this is pretty close to the area where he was missing - we want to make sure that we analyze it and confirm," Oakland police Sgt. Arturo Bautista told reporters.

It most likely isn't connected to Hasanni sad to say but I think LR's response is very telling. JMHO.

Exactly! And how many fathers (not to offend, I just know how guys can be) know exactly all of their kids (and in this case, foster kids) clothing? I don't know if I'd be able to say FOR SURE if a piece of clothing belonged to my kids. Between gifts, garage sales and hand-me-downs, it may take me a lot of thought to say "definitely no". Wonder if JC had seen the pic as well?

[YellowSubmarine]

In the SFGate.com article, someone left a comment that states on the news they said LR & JC came to the scene but were not allowed to see the clothing. Of course, this was just a comment and we know the media . . . BUT, if that's true . . .

 

[Noway]

Not to defend LR, but if Hasanni was in bed when JC left, it was probably LR who helped Hasanni get dressed that day.

 

[Noway]

Hmm ... why would they have them come to the scene (or did they come on their own?) and not let them see the clothing? (According to the comment at the link, they were called to the scene but not allowed to see the clothing. Maybe they were trying to gauge a reaction?)


I figure they will process it regardless of what LR and JC say since they are the main suspects and LE is just waiting to have enough evidence to charge them again.


ETA: And thanks to whoever shrunk my pix ... I'll work on making them smaller next time.

The Oakland police department is now examining a grey sweatshirt that may be connected with the search for five-year old Hasanni Campbell.

Two volunteers say they found the child-sized clothing at the end of Chabot Road near the Caldecott Tunnel. The discovery came at about 1:00 p.m. Sunday. The volunteers were part of a larger group searching for Hasanni who disappeared more than a month ago from behind a shoe store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.

The child was last seen wearing a grey sweatshirt and grey pants.

Oakland police crime scene investigators are now conducting tests on the sweatshirt. Police and members of the Alameda County Search and Rescue squad have now taped off the area and are conducting a more thorough search.

Stay tuned to KRON 4 and KRON4.com for the latest on this developing story.

Found clothing not Hasanni's, foster dad says
Sunday, September 13, 2009

(09-13) 18:25 PDT OAKLAND -- Volunteers searching for missing Fremont 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell reported finding children's clothing in Oakland's Rockridge District today, less than a mile from where his foster father had reported him missing last month, authorities said.

But Hasanni's foster parents, Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell, said the gray sweatshirt and a sock that were found at about 1:15 p.m. at the end of Chabot Road did not belong to the boy.

"It's not his," Ross told reporters while flanked by Campbell and the couple's legal adviser, Oakland attorney John Burris. "We buy his clothes. We know what he wears, so that was not his shirt. The sock was not his, either."

The discovery drew Oakland police crime scene investigators and Alameda County search dogs to the scene, which has been cordoned off by yellow tape.

Hasanni was reportedly wearing a gray sweatshirt when Ross reported him missing Aug. 10. Ross said he last saw the boy outside a shoe store on College Avenue in Oakland where Campbell, his fiancee and the boy's foster mother, works.

Before the couple's arrival at the scene, searchers girded for the possibility that the clothing belonged to Hasanni.

"We have no idea at this point if it's even connected to Hasanni," said Sherri-Lyn Miller, a San Leandro print-shop owner who has been organizing regular searches for the boy.

"Because it is similar, it's gray, it does appear to be small, we want to make sure - this is pretty close to the area where he was missing - we want to make sure that we analyze it and confirm," Oakland police Sgt. Arturo Bautista told reporters.

snipped from Kat and colored red by me: I never saw it mentioned what color/kind of socks Hasanni was wearing or what his shoes looked like.

This was something I noticed, too...never any mention of what kind of shoes he was wearing in the description on posters, etc.

FWIW, I have a clear memory of knowing he was wearing red socks... I have no idea from where I got that info, as I have looked for it and cannot find it anywhere.

I believe it Whya. That happens to me sometimes, bouncing around cases. It drives me crazy until I figure out where I got the info.

UPDATED: Clothing found in Oakland Hills did not belong to Hasanni Campbell

A gray sweatshirt found Sunday in the Oakland Hills did not belong to missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell, the boy's foster father said.

"It wasn't the right brand, it wasn't the right shirt; it's not his," Louis Ross, 38, of Fremont, said in brief remarks to the media after viewing the items volunteers found Sunday afternoon on a search for the boy reported missing Aug. 10.

Ross was accompanied by his fiancee, Jennifer Campbell, 33, the boy's biological aunt. They declined to answer additional questions, and were quickly driven from the scene at the end of Chabot Road.

"It's tough on them," said attorney John Burris, who has been counseling the couple. "You want to know and you don't want to know. You don't want confirmation that he's dead. You want to hold out hope, like other families, that he's still alive."

The gray children's sweatshirt was found shortly after 50 people began searching that area Sunday, search organizer Sherri Miller said. The area is slightly more than a mile east from where Hasanni's foster father reported last seeing him.

Volunteers flagged down some police officers. In a preliminary search of the area, those officers found an adult sock and another piece of material nearby. About 30 feet away from the sweatshirt, police found some bones, but later discovered they were from a deer.

Alameda County sheriff's deputies brought out search dogs to further canvass the area, which is just north of Highway 24. The dogs did not find anything, officials said.

The area where the sweatshirt was found had not been searched before by volunteers, Miller said. Police said they had not searched there, either.

Not to defend LR, but if Hasanni was in bed when JC left, it was probably LR who helped Hasanni get dressed that day.

That is of course, if one assumes that Hasanni did indeed live long enough on the 10th to GET dressed

I don't think you do. Not yet anyway.

FWIW, I have a clear memory of knowing he was wearing red socks... I have no idea from where I got that info, as I have looked for it and cannot find it anywhere.

The only thing I found other than gray sweatshirt and sweats was that his orthotics had Spiderman on them.

I've looked too and I don't remember reading it over the last few days but it's not something I was keyed in on -- I was looking for people and places.

I'm guessing his socks WERE red only because LR didn't say "Hasanni was not wearing RED socks that day. His socks were white." (or whatever color)

ETA: Does anyone know whether Hasanni was able to dress himself? I know he is old enough to but wondered whether he did ...

Oh man, I hope I'm not getting some sort of eerie power...
